Hey, I'm new.^^;

And the other half of the battle is full of "X Damage!" and the smacking of foam weaponry 

Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

G.I. JOE!!!!

Nerds...

But besides that point, there used to be a fantastic post about "How to be evil" on the forums.  The general idea (if you did want to play evil) is don't announce it, even OOG. This is kind of for anyone wanting to play evil:
1. You want to keep your dark acts a secret IG? Keep them a secret OOG.
2. Have a cover.  You may be Dark Sorcerer McGuffin during 9-5, but what are you on your off hours? a traveling baker? a bounty hunter looking for criminals to take off the streets?
3. DON'T GET CAUGHT! It's an expansive campsite, there's tons of places to do your dirty work without having Captain Hero accidentally stumble upon you.
4. www.knightrealms.com/index.php?option=co...ew&id=318&Itemid=193 These guidelines are also pretty much everything else you need to know.

I have to agree with keeping things a secret OOG.  Metagame and reverse metagame makes it hard for some players to keep things going honest when they find out stuff.

Now to answer what seems to be a bit of a confused point of conversation. There are some classes that by the rules are evil. Specifically there are subsets of classes that are evil per the game rules. A clergy character (priest, cleric, and scholar) that follows a dark god is evil just as a Mage with Necromancy is evil. There are means that can occur through play that may lead to a character acquiring a higher list that is considered evil as well.

That's my fault if I wasn't clear enough, but I was simply talking about basic classes being exclusively evil, not higher lists or specific subsets.  Basically I was trying to say that any base class could be good, evil, or neutral, depending on how you play.  My apologies.

Wow, thanks everyone! I'm even more excited now. xD
You've all been so helpful, you're awesome, thanks.
I'll keep all of this in mind as well in game and out.
